Instead of moaning here, how about answering some simple questions on the thread in question?

 KFC with it's secret blend of 11 herbs and spices is some of the best-tasting chicken most people will ever eat

If you weren't generally a good guy I'd report that for plagiarism from kfc.com/reasons to eat shit.  Grin
Seriously, paying to eat out of a fucking bucket??

KFC is a good metaphor for the current crypto environment: shit overpriced product sold thru deceptive marketing to sheeple (haven't seen that awful word used for a while).

From a brief look, it's one of an increasing number of post ICO Zombie Coins.
They're alive, but not really.

If anyone has any further questions for us, please join our telegram group


This seems to be a popular strategy on various shitICO [ANN] threads recently.
After claiming that anything dubious was outsourced and therefore not their fault (plausible deniability), they then direct any further questions to that shithole known as Telegram, where anything difficult or "off message" can be drowned in sock puppet spam or simply deleted.

Apart from the lies and false promotion, Maincoin is a bona fide financial scam too, centred around a group of London (scammers love London) registered companies in the name of Alexandr Firsov under the umbrella AVTOMAIN.

<Edited highlights>
.... throw your hate here..... how can we believe its not all your accounts....... If you try to destroy peoples work and blame in scum... don't see the facts, simply hating...destroy a good project....close the thread and leave this hating forum.... well maybe BITCOIN is a scam???.... Why don't you write it everywhere ??......we are talking the truth....  nobody would do business with haters like you..... 

ICOBench Rant rating 1.2.

The thing is this.
You've come here with an unoriginal, uninteresting, partially complete cookie cutter wallet/coin project prepared by devs who, at best, create other out and out scams like Buu and leave shitstains all over yours. That you don't notice.
You employ people with unverified identities and you make public contact thru marketing kiddies who spam garbage for any bullshit fundraiser that will pay them. And they do it badly.
When these facts are pointed out with evidence that that's what the situation is, then the people that point it out are "haterzz"?

And you want to use this forum as part of a scheme to take $20m off of investors?
Fuck off indeed.

Dude. He did quote it (using " ") Not providing the source (wikipedia) is different from trying to get the credit for it.

This is NOT plagiarism.

He indicated by the use of " " that the italicized text was a (n unattributed) quote, but he claims as his own personal reasoning the larger  part that I have bolded by prefixing it with "So, in accordance with GDPR" and then adding further comments of his own, with no reference to distinguish the bulk of the post as non original, thus it is plagiarism.

DISCLAIMER: The fact that it's a sock puppet account calling me names has nothing to do with my posting this, nor am I particularly in favor of weaponizing plagiarism reporting (not to suggest that this is the case regarding this report).


KYC process handled by ICOs very strange for me. I think that in most cases KYC handled by ICOs don't comply with General Data Protection Regulation.


 "The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU and EEA areas. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU"



So in accordance with GDPR a processor of personal data must clearly disclose any data collection, declare the lawful basis and purpose for data processing, how long data is being retained, and if it is being shared with any third-parties or outside of the EU. Data subjects have the right to request a portable copy of the data collected by a processor in a common format, and the right to have their data erased under certain circumstances. Public authorities, and businesses whose core activities centre around regular or systematic processing of personal data, are required to employ a data protection officer, who is responsible for managing compliance with the GDPR. Businesses must report any data breaches within 72 hours if they have an adverse effect on user privacy, etc.

I think that logically ICOs must to avoid to collect personal data  taking into account that GDPR requirements it is addition requirements for data processor. And additional compliance risks.

I don't know any direct regulatory requirements for KYC process, but I know requirement for Personal data protection. It looks that KYC process not legit in the most cases.

The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU and EEA areas. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to individuals over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.[1] Superseding the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC, the regulation contains provisions and requirements pertaining to the processing of personal data of individuals (formally called data subjects in the GDPR) inside the EEA, and applies to an enterprise established in the EEA or—regardless of its location and the data subjects' citizenship—that is processing the personal information of data subjects inside the EEA.

A processor of personal data must clearly disclose any data collection, declare the lawful basis and purpose for data processing, and state how long data is being retained and if it is being shared with any third parties or outside of the EEA. Data subjects have the right to request a portable copy of the data collected by a processor in a common format, and the right to have their data erased under certain circumstances. Public authorities, and businesses whose core activities centre around regular or systematic processing of personal data, are required to employ a data protection officer (DPO), who is responsible for managing compliance with the GDPR. Businesses must report any data breaches within 72 hours if they have an adverse effect on user privacy. In some cases, violators of the GDPR may be fined up to €20 million or up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover of the preceding financial year in case of an enterprise, whichever is greater.

Watched the video like three times in a row and I wasn't able to figure out whether it was AC or a dusty-old laptop fan. I need to know the source of that buzzing noise, it's really important.

Maybe he's developing a cloud mining ICO next and that's their farm, an S3 under his desk.
595  Other / Meta / Re: How recognized are you in the bitcointalk world? on: March 26, 2019, 10:40:01 PM

I'd never really looked at the recognized section before, although I use BPIP quite a lot (thanks Vod). A very Vod like algo employed, I see.  Wink
Actually, "recognized" is a neutral word, not in itself implying either laudable or notorious, simply "identifying something or someone as previously seen, known, etc."

On that basis maybe all trust should be added, both positive and negative, to establish all the really "recognized" members.
Should that be implemented, then surely the previous poster would be

597  Other / Meta / A BUMPING SERVICE EXAMPLE: How long are we going to look the other way? on: March 26, 2019, 05:01:53 PM
I came across a dubious "Crypto Bank" type scheme by the name of ATRONOCOM in the [ANN] section the other day.
Nothing unusual in that you may say, it's full of scams. Very true, but there's another aspect which I believe is very damaging to the integrity of this forum, the existence of so called "bumping services" which enable and promote them.
Apart from the essentially fraudulent basis on which they operate, i.e. posing as legitimate forum members and creating the illusion of genuine interest in schemes which are seeking $millions in investment, they also involve large numbers of sock puppet accounts registered solely for this purpose by account farmers.

This is just one small, easy to find example where the bumping service forum account has also been used to open a thread in which the puppet accounts are employed.
There are many long running echo chamber threads, sustained solely by endless pseudo conversations, a couple of examples here and here, between them accounting for thousand upon thousand of bogus posts.
Mods do what they do, deleting individual posts when reported, but imo at some point in time this huge abuse must be addressed at policy (Theymos) level, or whatever cred the forum has as a source of reliable information will be compromised.
